Insights

TL;DR: Officer transition with equity awards totaling 218,979 RSUs; multi-year vesting ties compensation to continued service.

The filing documents two RSU awards totaling 218,979 Class A shares granted under Cruz鈥檚 new employment agreement and reported as acquisitions on August 6, 2025. One award of 121,655 RSUs vests in three equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of August 5, 2025; the second award of 97,324 RSUs vests in two equal installments on the fourth and fifth anniversaries. These schedules indicate retention-oriented compensation spanning up to five years. The transaction is reported in connection with Cruz鈥檚 transition from a board seat (resigned August 5, 2025) to CFO (effective September 1, 2025). From a financial perspective, the disclosure is routine compensation documentation rather than operating or performance results.

TL;DR: Director resignation and CFO appointment formalized with employment-linked RSU awards and standard staggered vesting.

The Form 4 records Cruz鈥檚 resignation as a director effective August 5, 2025 and his appointment as Chief Financial Officer effective September 1, 2025. Equity awards are tied explicitly to the terms of his new employment agreement and include clear vesting conditions: one tranche vests over three years and a second tranche vests on years four and five, each contingent on continued service. The filing was voluntarily reported and executed by an attorney-in-fact on August 8, 2025. This is a governance-level disclosure of executive hiring and compensation, without additional context on change-of-control protection or other governance provisions in the filing.
